LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL....AFTER ALL


Life is beautiful....the wonderful sun rises,a new day bursts with loving family,cheerful friends,don't they make life Beautiful? Amidst of the crisis,wars,corruption and chaos happening around..still life is beautiful.
What an amazing life we have,seeing mountains,hills,and seas free from sorrows and miseries,in a world full of mysteries.
Watching the kids playing and laughing around makes the world go round and merry,isn't it?
After all,we are living in the world filled with beauties,God created them for us to appreciate life....may it be good or bad we still have to appreciate life as it is.
Let me tell you about Life through the pictures posted down...let them do the talking..




















No matter how are we going to shield ourselves from the ugliness of reality,still God makes our life Beautiful.
No one knows why we were brought to life and why how it is became to be.
Its a question everyone asks One another.
Life is like a biotech as most people say as I would too.
It has its ups and downs.
You may like your life at one moment and hated it next.
You have to live life as it was given to you and Live it as he gave it to you.
Don't try and change the future or the past that's something that you can't choose.
Life is to learn how to deal with it.

THE POWER OF PRAYER



These days,I always like moving on two hyper speeds...maybe it's because of the problems that kept on coming....hyper speeds in the sense that I want everything falls rightly in place,perfectly.
That is my roundabout way of saying when I am confronted with onerous problems.I think we each have our own struggles with managing problems.
According to a certain poem " On the street of this position of God's world I feel a neighbor to a rat, so brother of a worm;Forever chasing rainbows at muddy margins."-Quemadas Poem
I don't know if life isn't worth living nor empty and meaningless,or full of challenges.There are times,I go for glitters and gold selfishly...however,God is still in controls...Prayer is the only propellers I used to heal the broken pieces in me caused by problems.
Prayer is the answer to every problem in life.It puts us in tune with divine wisdom which knows how to adjust everything perfectly.So often we do not pray in a certain situation because that from our standpoint the outlook is hopeless.But nothing is impossible with God.
Nothing is too entangled that it cannot be remedied.No human relationship is too strained for God to bring about the reconciliation and understanding.
No habit is too deep-rooted that it cannot be overcome.Noe one is so weak that it cannot be made strong.No one is so ill that He cannot be healed.No Mind is so dull that it cannot be made brilliant.
Whatever we need or desire, if we trust God, He will supply it.If anything is causing worry and anxiety let us stop rehearsing the difficulty and trust God for healing love and power.

ANALYZING PRINT ADS

Just saw these ads in the net and some of the articles being printed about the nude ads posted along the high ways...Even in the Philippines,Bench has been copying Calvin Klein as the most vulgar ads in terms of advertising its undies publicly...do they need to post nude males/female models just to attract their buyers to buy?

Advertising surrounds our students and kids; advertising is unavoidable. Before the school day begins, adolescents encounter numerous forms of advertising. Whether it is on the radio, billboards, newspapers, magazines, TV, or online, students need to be aware of what they are subjected to. We live in a consumer culture and adolescents are very much a part of that culture. In fact, a large number of adolescents have a disposable income since they are still living at home and being supported by their parents. It is extremely critical that we teach adolescents to critically analyze advertising since they are at an impressionable age and are at the heart of developing their individual identities. As teachers, we want to inculcate into our students the importance of thinking critically about the world around them and to adopt ideologies based on their own personal beliefs, values, and attitudes. Today’s adolescents need to develop their own ideologies rather than the advertisement industry telling our adolescents who they ought to be.

Adolescents must understand how to be critical analyzers of advertising and also understand the process and strategy that the advertising industry assumes. The ability to critically analyze advertisements allows adolescents to place advertisements within a particular context and culture. Rather than allowing advertisements to position adolescents as particular audiences, adolescents, engaged in critical analysis of advertisements, will be able to take a step back, distance themselves, and objectively partake in advertisement viewing. Part of learning to critically analyze advertising is learning about the advertisement itself and also the context in which the audience responds to the advertisement

Does Calvin Klein sold us sex eroticism?
